The Saw Doctors was an Irish rock band. Formed in 1986 in Tuam, County Galway, they achieved eighteen Top 30 singles in The Republic of Ireland including three number ones. Their first number one, "I Useta Lover," topped the Irish charts for nine consecutive weeks in 1990, and still holds the record for the country's all-time biggest-selling single. Renowned for their live performances, the band won a cult following, especially in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Date: Mon, 12 Aug 1996 21:01:24 +0000 From: Edward A Doyle Subject: Here is a song by the Saw Doctors called exhilarating sadness
the very 'basic' riff goes like g-7-7-7-42-4-24-4-4-67-7-6-4-2--| b-------------------------------| e-------------------------------|
GC You were sitting in a cafe AmD at a table by the juke-box GCAm Making cups of coffee last for years GC You never heard the fanfare AmD never saw the sunshine rising CAm and the summer slipped in unnoticed D from beneath your tears
The following verses are played the same as the first,
The pounding big bass rhythm shook the room, shook your little heart all the talk that whistled through your ears You were minding your own buisness but you were everybody elses and the summer slipped in unnoticed from beneath your tears
All the girls around you were captured by your presence your lucid features admired and revered Deep in your eyes I recognise exhilarating sadness And the summer slipped in unnoticed from beneath your tears
This mid section goes as follows
C Time flew bye D You moved on CD The shop street days are long since gone C All of the laughter D and all of the tears CAmD I still see your likeness through the years
